Baylor and former head football coach Art Briles each filed separate motions this week to dismiss a Title IX lawsuit brought by a former Baylor student, according to a report from The Waco Tribune.

Briles' motion contests that an individual school employee cannot be sued under Title IX while Baylor's motion claim that a university cannot be liable for criminal acts perpetrated off campus even it was done so by a student against another student. The motions also claim that the statute of limitations have passed for the lawsuit to be filed, according to the Tribune.

The lawsuit was filed by former Baylor student Jasmin Hernandez, who was raped by former Baylor football player Tevin Elliott on April 15, 2012. Elliott was on the team at the time but in 2014 was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Irwin Zalkin, one of Hernandez's lawyers, told the Tribune that though he had not yet reviewed the new filings by Baylor and Briles, the defendants could not ignore Title IX obligations and then try to call into question the statute of limitations.

In July Briles asked a federal judge to remove his name from the lawsuit from Hernandez, which named the former coach, former athletic director Ian McCaw and the Baylor Board of Regents as co-defendants. She alleges they violated federal Title IX rules against gender discrimination in programs that receive federal aid.

Briles' lawyers argue he can't be sued as an individual in a Title IX lawsuit. They also say claims that Briles ignored warnings of a sexual predator on his team were based on hearsay, and that any action against him would fall outside of a two-year statute of limitations. Hernandez was attacked in 2012 and didn't file her lawsuit until 2016.

This is just one of this kind of lawsuit that Baylor's lawyers are juggling at the moment. Three more women filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit against Baylor in June, alleging the school did nothing to help them after they reported being sexually assaulted on or near campus.
